EFCC Saga: Police Officers Withdrawn From Commission Get New Posting

The Nigeria Police Force has redeployed the officers withdrawn from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to different commands across the country.

EkoHotBlog had reported how the inspector-general of police, Mohammed Adamu, recalled some officers attached to the anti-graft agency in a bid to clear the agency of those suspected to be sympathetic to Ibrahim Magu, the suspended acting chairman.

In a memo dated August 4, 2020, Alkali Usman, the force secretary, said eight chief superintendents of police (CSP) had been given new assignments.
